    Genuinely hilarious. Great work.

    To reduce COVID to the status of the normal seasonal illnesses we commonly deal with. That's my answer, what is yours? What is the end goal of these forces at work (scientists, doctors, etc...)? (Please answer.)

    make me the new AD, I will only hire coaches who have never lost a game Pretty simple, if you think about it.

    Losing With Class Hell yeah

    It was a joke, dude, Jesus, you don't have to respond shouting about your Dodge Stratus If the only pattern you're noticing is that "since someone has to lose a zero-sum game, most teams don't win 7+ games" coupled with "the expectations I have for my team involve a level of winning reserved for ~3% of teams per year" then that's fine but as you point out, noticing those patterns is banal and don't lend to an idea that one is an expert for noticing. Even MORE banal is the idea you guys have of yourselves that you are the lone prophets noticing that we lost these games. Look how ctj has to invent a whole fictional world in which there is a gang shouting "WE LOVE SARK HE'S AMAZING!" at him when no one is actually doing that at all. It's not a mediocre schedule. 7th toughest in the nation. It's not about you needing to trust, it's just about telling the truth and make sense.

    Not a philosophy major, I see Of course Herman had Herman's faults. What I said was "Strong -> Herman -> Sark is not a pattern". Sark may win an NC next year. He may lose 10 games. Prognosticating that shouldn't factor Herman or Mack or Strong in at all. If you watch Sark screwing up and think, "Oh here we go again" you're not looking at it clearly.

    Well, what does it mean for Internet yahoos to "trust" and why does it matter? My pretty low standard is, "I will try to avoid actively tearing apart members of Longhorn athletics online in public view without some kind of tremendous provocation". I don't think it's likely that my words here will damage a recruit's (or recruit's influencing family/friends) view, but I also know that my negative analysis is even LESS likely to do anything constructive.

    Humans find patterns where patterns don't exist. It's how we put ourselves at the center of situations and/or attribute deeper meaning to things that don't actually have meaning. There's a big word for it that starts with an a. Strong -> Herman -> Sark is not a pattern except in the larger sense of, "Football teams, for the most part, get 8 wins or fewer per year." as a very normal pattern and "New coaching hires tend not to build championship teams within 3-5 years, if at all." It sounds a lot more interesting if we make it seem like an actual pattern and it's way more personally resonant if we can put ourselves into teams "The Realists vs. The Sunshine Pumpers" and fight a Holy War on behalf of our team. It's a stupid argument, really, and one that belongs on an entirely different forum.

    yup The calls to power went in before South Carolina and then again on Super Tuesday. It was written, now it's playing out

    I'll drive the damn party bus full of co-eds myself to HC's house if whoever-he-is wins us a natty. What the hell do I care?

    You have absolutely no way of knowing this and, by your own admission, your own predictive capabilities regarding our team have already failed this year. Regarding "feigned devil's advocacy trolling"... that's a string of words that doesn't make sense. But trying to figure out what you thought you were saying, I'm a fan of UT football. A "hey, go to the football board threads dedicated to whining about Sark to whine about Sark instead of doing it in recruiting threads" is a logical position for a UT football fan to have in a recruiting thread. There's an entire forum dedicated to pretending to know what is going to happen on the field. Go there and do the thing.
  14. bad_teammate
    Just making things up to be mad about. Why are you continually filling your diaper in the recruiting board? Go to the whining threads in football.
  15. bad_teammate
    ctj: "I'm just way above all of this and don't really care. I'm not mad at all. I'm actually laughing. I'm going to just wait patiently and quietly until this coach eventually fails and hope the new one is better. Not mad, though."

    They don't have strong leadership or vision. This is what happens, Larry.

    Thinking about what would be going on right now with Urban Meyer vs what is actually going on is not my idea of fun. I've got faith, but Urban was a "Texas is definitely back pretty much right now" hire.

    liberals are fucking idiots who never learn a fucking thing

  20. bad_teammate
    yeah well fine but other than that
  21. bad_teammate
    If not superior themselves, at least good enough to push young talent already here to improve more rapidly. A leadership infusion would be great.

    Do you think that because of data you've seen? Probably not. Hospitalization rates were 10 times higher among unvaccinated than among fully vaccinated adolescents. Not that COVID is a huge threat to teens, of course, but it's a much bigger threat than the vaccine.
  23. bad_teammate
    Military folks get shot up with vaccines found on the floor of the base PX. So weird for them to complain about this vaccine.
  24. bad_teammate
    "This is all politics!" I scream at my nurse as my lungs fill with fluid, god damn liberal effusion

    PAC won me over, we should force everyone to get COVID.
